Preparing Your Community for Disaster

Disasters of any kind have the potential to affect communities in Florida. The most effective disaster response comes from being prepared, and the best preparations involve many stakeholders in a community. These stakeholders include nonprofits, funders, local government, volunteer organizations, and more.

This half day workshop, presented by Florida Philanthropic Network and Florida Nonprofit Alliance, is designed to provide examples of how communities around the state have responded to disasters, both natural and man-made, and the lessons they learned about how to prepare going forward. Join us to hear from a panel of your peers, then meet with others from your region to discuss how you can best prepare for future disasters. You’ll leave with ideas to strengthen your community and feel prepared to implement them.

There is no cost to attend, and lunch will be provided.

We invite you to send up to two people from your organization. If you know of someone else who we should invite to attend, please email their name to Leah at lmcdermott@flnonprofits.org.

If you would like to attend but need help with travel costs, please contact Leah McDermott at lmcdermott@flnonprofits.org for more information – there are very limited funds available.
